Throughout the week, students joined in themed spirit days, created posters promoting healthy choices, and took part in classroom lessons and discussions about living drug-free. Their enthusiasm and leadership made this week a success!

Mrs. Barcus and Mrs. Wilkinson made sure their third grade class had a wonderful Halloween party today! 🎃👻 From fun activities to festive treats, our students had a spooktacular time celebrating together. 🕸️🍬✨

Ms. Long’s and Ms. Bates’ 5th grade classes spent the day getting creative and painting pumpkins to celebrate Halloween! 🎃🖌️ Their creativity and excitement made for a spooktacular day in the classroom. 👻✨

While gratitude is often encouraged, mental health struggles like anxiety and depression can make positivity feel out of reach—especially during stressful times or holidays. If you or your child are struggling, practicing gratitude through daily actions, words, and habits can help you focus on the parts of life that matter most. While not a cure, research confirms gratitude improves mood, strengthens social bonds, and enhances physical health.

Research shows that even small acts of gratitude can have a big impact. Writing down what you’re grateful for can lead to increased physical activity and fewer doctor visits. Sharing a gratitude letter with someone can even boost your health and happiness for an entire month. Additionally, thankfulness predicts a significantly lower risk of major depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and substance abuse.

Families of Wetzel County:

If you’re concerned about food programs expiring on November 1, we’ve got you covered. We’ve attached a calendar of local food resources, including addresses and phone numbers, to help you out. These flyers will be coming home with students tomorrow — please share them with anyone who could use a little extra support.

Let’s continue to support one another and lend a helping hand across our community.

Today, Superintendent Porter had lunch with some Paden City Elementary students. A huge shoutout to the amazing cooks for preparing a delicious chicken masala lunch! 🍽️ After lunch, Superintendent Porter visited Mrs. Starkey’s second-grade class and read “The Night Before Halloween.” 🎃 The class had a wonderful discussion about what they want to be when they grow up and the importance of reading.

Friendly reminder.

New Martinsville School has launched a new schoolwide reading initiative to spark excitement and build stronger readers! Each wing now features a Reading Tree, where students add a colorful leaf for every 5 books they finish. Monthly drawings are held for students who participate, and the winners get to choose a new book from the book vending machine! It’s all about growing imagination, one page at a time! 💙💛 📖 #NMS #ReadingTree #ReadersGrowHere #WetzelCountySchools
